Are you pretty confident about your updates re the additions and omissions? Even with CityStop (which I think is cool - the rest I can take or leave, would have wanted BLIS tho!!) being very tempting, I still think I'd prefer one of the now-rare German ones...

Or am I being a d***head??
Hey mate. Have seen the dealer issued form from Ford Australia to confirm all the details I have. It says August availability also. Personally, I’d try and get a German one, as the one I’m driving is built like a rock, and has heated front seats, great in Toowoomba haha! The Thai built model drops this feature, but it does gain plenty of other kit. Up to you really, but the Thai model is a few months away yet! Good luck.
